Just out of curiosity, why don't you want to use System 7?  Since you want
to use 32 bits, I assume you have over 8 MB of RAM.  Even though System 7
uses more RAM than System 6, if you have over 8 MB, I wouldn't worry too much.
I'm not going to go over the advantages of System 7 (not 7.1 :) but you might
even be able to use Virtual Memory, if you have the right computer....

Just curious.  Not to mention System 7 _is_ MultiFinder.  :)
